Call for participants: Study researching disability and life during heatwaves

Do you identify as Disabled? Are you interested in talking to researchers from the University of Bath about your daily life during a heatwave?

What is the study about?
We’re looking to interview people who identify as Disabled about how extremely hot weather affects their daily lives, and better understand how we can make UK climate change planning more inclusive in the future.

What would you have to do?
Take part in an interview this summer with a researcher and answer questions about how hot weather affects you. You don’t have to have any particular knowledge or experience to take part, and we’re interested in everyone’s views. The interview would take place between now and September, ideally after a heatwave, and can be completed in-person, online or via email.

If you or someone you support would like to find out more, you can read the information sheet and study flyer below or email the researcher Hollye Kirkcaldy – hk927@bath.ac.uk
